This page documents all ChromeDriver supported capabilities and how to use them.

The WebDriver language APIs provides ways to pass capabilities to ChromeDriver.

The exact mechanism differs by the language, but most languages use one or both of the following mechanisms: Use the ChromeOptions class.

While it is also available in Java, its usage in Java is deprecated.

You can create an instance of ChromeOptions, which has convenient methods for setting ChromeDriver-specific capabilities.

You can then pass the ChromeOptions object into the ChromeDriver constructor.

By default, ChromeDriver will create a new temporary profile for each session.

At times you may want to set special preferences or just use a custom profile altogether.

If the former, you can use the chrome.prefs capability (described later below) to specify preferences that will be applied after Chrome starts.

If the latter, you can use the user-data-dir Chrome command-line switch to tell Chrome which profile to use.

You can create your own custom profile by just running Chrome (on the command-line or through ChromeDriver) with the user-data-dir switch set to some new directory.

If the path doesnt exist, Chrome will create a new profile in the specified location.

Open chrome:version in the browser to see what profile Chrome is using.

If you want to block pop-ups (i.e., restore the normal Chrome behavior when it is not controlled by ChromeDriver), do the following: ChromeOptions options new ChromeOptions().

However, there are several caveats to be aware of: Chrome disallows using certain directories for download.

In particular, you cannot use the desktop folder as the download directory.

On Linux, you also cannot use the home directory for download.

Since the exact list of forbidden directories is subject to change, it is recommended that you use a directory that has no special meaning to the system.

ChromeDriver does not automatically wait for download to complete.

If you call driver.quit() too soon, Chrome might terminate before the download has finished.

In some languages, this is implemented by the ChromeOptions class.

In other languages, they are stored under the goog:chromeOptions dictionary in desired capabilities.

Arguments with an associated value should be separated by a sign (e.g., start-maximized, user-data-dirtmptempprofile).
